This lodge is located on lands rich with ancient Mayan culture in the southern Belize jungle.
This eco-lodge has become a world-class destination, renowned for its commitment to sustainable food production and agritourism, welcoming affluent visitors from around the globe. Constructed on a site with a rich history dating back to the Classic Maya period around 600 AD, the property once served as a vital transportation route via the Rio Grande River.
In the 1860s, settlers from Texas and Alabama arrived to raise cattle, rum, and sugar cane. The property, known as "Big Hill," was eventually purchased by Ms. Marie Louise Young, a local descendant of Confederates. She operated a distillery called "Rocky Run Rum" on the property until the 1970s, and remnants of the old cane press can still be seen in the Farm Center today.
In 2001, the land was sold to the owners of El Pescador, leading to the establishment of a fly fishing resort. Four years later, the current eco-lodge was created.
